Had to get rid of slippery cushions off my kitchen chairs, rocking chair and any other chairs I had. I just went crazy with the hammer and nails. I had a great teacher, my friend Michelle - French Flair. You can see some of her work on houzz. http://www.houzz.com/frenchflair/p/8

Beautiful furniture, but instead of nailing it all down, would ties not have been a better choice. Then you could untie and replace or wash and no damage to the furniture.

That's what I had "ties". I also wanted a country look. Once I nailed the first nail, I was committed.

a great idea, vynil or leather would make it easy to wipe clean. I can't tell what you used to cover them all. But I can that you like white LOL very fresh looking except for snow. Hugs Loralye

I have a passion for white. White walls to me is the most beautiful canvas you can have. It does not compete with anything else. But then it's just me. I used leather and yes all I do is wipe clean.

They all look great. You have done a very nice job and with the leather you will be able to clean it and not worry about washing them. Lyn

That's right Lyn. Actually, when you see this in real life, it is breath taking.

Yes my personal garden is growing. This is so much fun. Thank you.
I wondered what you meant about seeing my picture, had to look hard and then there I am in the mirror. You are good.
Lol at least you were fully dressed, unlike the fellow from Ebay, years ago!

How smart are you!!! I have been slipping & sliding for years!! No more! Looks like you put a bit of padding under the seat?? My kitchen chairs are so old I can't do them any harm!! But I may do myself harm if those cushions don't stay in place!! Did you cut a pattern to fit it or copy another cushion size??

I used a piece of newspaper and traced the seat. I cut it out until I was satisfied with the shape. Then I cut out the number of seats I needed in my leather fabric, in this case with the kitchen table I needed 6. Then I cut a long strip of leather 1" 1/2 and folded it wrong side with wrong side. I sewed all the way down 1/4". Then I placed my foam on the chair, I covered the foam with the leather. I then made sure the strip of leather had the raw seem underneath and the smooth part on top. I then placed the strip on top of the leather seat fabric making sure I covered the edge. I started at the middle on the back of the chair. I used a two finger method. (Ha) I put a nail every two fingers until I was done. I bought the decorative nails at the fabric store. God I hope this is clear. Probably clear as mud.
Tks! It's clear. I hadn't noticed the strip around the cushion part...glad you mentioned it!
